It's really weird even to CARE about transgenders playing girls' sports

Let alone to let kind of thing affect your voting behavior. This nonsense has been coming up over and over all year -- but how many actual instances are there?

A male-to-female transition is a difficult and complicated process. It involves hormone treatments. And irreversible surgery. And at least two years of psychotherapy -- no surgeon will touch you unless you've been through that and your shrink agrees this is something you really need.

Nobody is going to go through all of that just to gain an unfair advantage in women's sports.

Maybe you ought to take your own advice about soft-pedaling social/cultural liberalism? It’s just a thought.

I don’t think it’s a big deal and I certainly wouldn’t let it impact my vote. But women’s sports were created specifically to give them opportunities to compete that they wouldn’t have if they had to compete against men. That’s why I’m against trans athletes competing against women.

 

[TastySuckToy]

If transgender men are going to insist there are no significant advantages to biological males entering female sports, then they can stay in the male sports section, because according to them, there are no significant differences to begin with.

There is absolutely no reason why a transwoman cannot stay in male sports. Heck, there are no rules that say women cannot compete in male sports either, they just generally don't for blindingly obvious reasons.

Shut your tranny ass the fuck up.

Current US population (estimated): 314 million people
Current number of US transgenders playing women's sports at all levels (estimated): 100

If transgenders playing women's sports is a defining issue in your life, may I suggest you re-evaluate your priorities.

They don't care. Heck, the people screaming the loudest about this mostly ignored women's sports before at best, or treated them like a joke at worst. But "keep biological males out your daughter's swim team" sounds a lot better than "I hate those people because I don't understand their problem".

But it doesn't follow that just because someone decides to do all these things, we should let them have an unfair advantage in sports.

It's not an unfair advantage. There are plenty of examples of transwomen losing to cis women.

Well, some people care, parents with daughters. Parents with children. People who think it takes a sane village to raise the children.

Nobody really gets to pick and choose what the issue will be.

Y'all, for example, wanted Trump to be the sole issue.

How did that work out for you?

What part of the equality movement passed you by?

In order to ensure equality, some animals have to be more equal than others.

It would be a very conflicted place right now to be a true Feminist Champion who is emotionally torn by the exclusion of people who are merely "different" from established societal norms...

[AceDesSpades]

The tactic of the Left and those who would impose their "culture" from the position of the minority upon the majority is to use the vehicle of the "unassailable victim."

It used to be the little girl.

Now it is the trans.

If you oppose "equality" for the trans, the victim, then you are pure evil. Hitler. Trump even...

 

[AceDesSpades]

This is why all of their arguments are a priori statements with name-calling and aspersion for rebuttal.

 

[AceDesSpades]

Hell, after the election, they lead with the negativity...

All those negatives waves man...

 

[Carnal_Flower]

It's not an unfair advantage. There are plenty of examples of transwomen losing to cis women.

And there are plenty of examples of males who never placed in men's events miraculously turning into spectacular athletes when they play against women. From 500 seed to top in the nation, why its a miracle!!

I don't think anyone would doubt that Venus Williams can crush most men, yet there is a reason we have men and women's sports to begin with. Would you propose getting rid of the practice altogether?

 

[AceDesSpades]

It is good to see the subject dividing even the culture warriors amongst themselves. But, I repeat.

It's going to come down to the few, the proud, the living...

Repeal Title IX and all will be right with the world once more.

Might as well, letting the misgendered drama queens into women's sports has rendered Title IX pointless.

I knew a guy, he was very sad, who would never accept rank promotion: so proud of all those white-belt trophies...
